A governor of an ancient Persian province was called asatrap. These areas ruled bysatrapswere called "satrapies."The Persian emperor Cyrus the Great first chose satraps to rule individual provinces, around 530 BCE. Each satrap controlled a specific amount of land, collecting taxes and maintaining law and order. The wordsatrapcontinued to be used in various places, including India and East Asia, to refer to local rulers. The word comes from the Latinsatrapes, with the Old Persian rootxšathrapavan, "guardian of the realm," fromxšathra-, "realm," andpavan-, "guardian."
